Vinay Paharia joined PGIM India AMC in January 2023 and is currently the Chief Investment Officer at PGIM India Mutual Fund. He has over 22 years of experience in equity market and fund management. He holds M.M.S, BCom and CFA (ICFAI) degrees.  

He has been a growth investor and has followed a consistent investment philosophy of buying good quality and high growth companies at a reasonable price. This strategy has been an evergreen framework and has outperformed markets most of the times (but not all the time). His objective is to buy companies that are available at a price that may be slightly lower than the underlying fair value, which presents a greater potential upside over a five-year period. Vinay vouches for a disciplined, evidence-based investment approach over chasing short-term returns.
